The Indian Com M ission.

A Washington special Of January
9th says that when Judge Wellborn
called up the Indian appropriation
bill, Col. Toole, OF Montana, moved an
amendment to the yearly appropria-
tion for the Indian commission en-
gagged in securing the consent Of the
Indians to the reduction of their re.
seryatlons so as 10 make IL apply
To the Crow reservations In Mon
tana. Mr.. Nelson opposed this, and
claimed that the bill already included
the Grove. After some explanation
IL was agreed that this was the pur-
pose Of the bill, and Col. Toole with
drew the amendment. This author
lies the commission TO treat with the
Sioux for a reduction on their reser-
walton.
81 did not ask" said Col. Tonle,
speaking Of the matter, ito have any
more moneyappropriated for the COM
mission. The amount remains SIC, 0O
as il was last year, but asked to have
something done TO throw that big
Crow reservation open TO whites. We
have / SOC, 900 cattle In MoLtana, ana
our ranges in the older parts Of the
territory are being overlooked. We
must have our cattle eating grass on
some Of the large Indian reservations,

SILLY SENSATIONS.
The Right To be Hung,

amused some fractions Of the Aneri.
can people, there have been few more
astounding than the wide agitation as
TO whether Mrs. Druse, . murderess
now under sentence Of death In New
York state, should or should not be
hung. Petitions In large numbers for
q Communication have been sent to the
governor by the same class of people
who furnish murderev with their
bouquet, all begging for clemency To-
ward Mrs. Druse. The papers have
been full of the case, and one enter
prising journal actually sent out tor
interviews all over the country, TO as
certain public sentiment as to the
hanging OF women. And the funny
part Of Il is that the people Who are iD-
terested In the matter OF getting q par.
don are the very people who would
vigorously applaud q bill for female
suffrage, and are filled with inexpress-
IDLY Joy because u 10 currently re.

succeed In casting vote and having
~ counted at the last election In New
York state. Now IL would seem truly
logical that, If women ought TO have
exactly the same civil and political
rights as men, the right to be hung is
included among them.
One cannot appreciate the remark
able features Of hrs case until he
knows exactly the facts about the
crime of which Mrs. Druse has been
convicted, aud then remembers that
the appeal in her favor rests upon no
doubt OF guilt and no extenuati lg cir.
cum-tances, but solely ON the plea
that she is woman. The act was
one OF the most horrible in the annals
Of crime This woman. for whom ap-
peal is made on account Of the tender
ness of her sex, made q murderous as
sault upon her husband while seated
at his table. Having incapacitated
him for Resistance, she called in her
son and, under threat Of death 10 him,
compelled him 10 fire bullets from a
revolver into the body OF his father.
Then she carried the body to another
ropm and chopped it TO pieces with al
axe, carrying some Of tue pieces away
and burning the rest in the kitchen
stove. Every one of these facts was
proved by the testimony of witnesses.
NUthing more devilisL, consider.
lug the family relations Of the
parties, was ever heard Of And yet
this i the creature 10 whose behalf
1t is sought TO elicit a nawklsh
public sentiment. Mrs. Druse. ii Ia
perfectly clear, is neither man nor
woman, but a savage beast. The
question of sex has no more to do with
her punishment than IL has with the
shooting Of mad dog. But, IN gene.
raj we are Of the opinion that, what
ever rights of woman are dubious, the
right to be hung Is clearly established.
Minne,ota settled the question for her
self some time ago 10 very practical
and effective way. Crime Of this kind
law shows no gender, and the
which Furnishes it has wisely re-
fused 10 establish such distinctions.
If there was any punishment which is
more painful and oudious than hang
ing, Mrs. Drnse ought to have the best
oft. As IL Is the hangman should fix
the moose and spring the trap for her
with a hearty good will. The people
who are engaged in pleading her cause
might better betake themselve- to pro.

HARRIS, GOoCH & co.
An Enterprising, Progressive Ware.
house Firm.

Never before was so much tobacco
sold in Henderson in the same space
of time, as is now daily changing
hands here. From every direction it
is pouring in, and the cry is " still it
comes And the large quantities of
the weed handled by Messrs. Harris,
Gooch & Co., proprietors of Harris
Brick Warehouse, is tangible evidence
OF their increasing popularity with
the tobacco farmers throughout the
country tributary to the Henderson
tobacco market. The straightforward
business methods that have character
lied the dealings OF this firm since en-
gazing IN business as tobacco ware
housemen, commend them to all who
deal with them, and their success is
but the natural result of such a course,
coupled with we'll directed energy and
a sincere desire to protect and pro-
mote the interests of their patrons al
ways. With a splendidly arranged
house, magnificent lights, plenty of
capital, large corps Of polite and
competent assistants and liberal bid
ding, together with comfortable quar-
tiers for farmers and their teams, it is
not surprising that they have had to
enlarge their house to accommodate
their constantly increasing trade.
Messrs. Harris, Gooch & Co. begin
the new tobacco year with even re-
newed energy and greater determine
ton, and those who sell their tobacco
at Harris Brick Warehouse may safely
count on obtaining the highest prices
and getting accommodations for them
selves and their teams. The GOLD
LEAF is pleased to note that the to-
bacco farmers are giving this enter
prising and deserving firm the pat
ronage that they SO richly merit. Such
house is credit to our town and
adds greatly to its material prosperity.

SAD DROwNING-A sad case of drowning
occurred in the Northeastern part of this
county near the Warren county line Sat
urday afternoon. Mr.. AK. Fleming
we'll known and popular citizen, who
owned a mill on Nutbush creek, went
across the stream in the morning to his
store and cotton gin on. the opposite side.
About O'Clock he returned and called to
his miller Mr.. VIM. Lynch, to 60 over in
the boat after him. There had been a
brid ge across the stream at this point but i t
was carried away by the late freshet. The
two men together with young man named
Jimmie Williams got in the boat and
started across When about half way
over, the creek not being more than about
forty yards wide, heavy pointer dog that
had plunged into the water after them
overlook the boat. Mr.. Fleming attempted
to take the dog into the boat and in
was very deep AMI both Mr.. Flem-
ing and Mr.. Lynch were drowned. The
young man Williams managed to get back
to land, but in very exhausted condition
While Mr.. Fleming was an excellent
swimmer Mr.. Lynch could not, and it i:
supposed that he was the cause Of both men
being drowned, Williams hearing Mr.
Fleming tell Mr.. Lynch to turn him loose
soon after they were thrown into the water
Their bodies were recovered about o clock
Sunday morning, near each other and no
far from the spot where they were drowned
Nr. Fleming was about 81 years of age
and Mir Lynch 60 odd. The affair was /;
! very sac one indeed and has cast gloom
oyer the community in which they lived.
